Expert Roof Repair & Installation Contractors in Wallingford, CT

In 2020 Barbour Gardens turned to Constitution Construction to have a Moisture Survey performed by a Hartford County Approved Testing Laboratory of their multi-family apartment complex in Hartford, Connecticut. The 20-year-old, 24,678 square-feet, 25-feet-high JP Stevens’ roof was at the end of its service life, and temporary fixes were made over time including many patches. However, the roofing system was at risk of eventual failure that could potentially shut down the building. Following the moisture survey, ARI determined there was extensive water damage to the insulation and that it would need to be removed and replaced and then a new roof membrane installed. The 14-person crew from Constitution began work on the complex utilizing a 45 mil Fiber Tite-SM Ketone Ethylene Ester (KEE) single-ply roofing membrane with perimeter and corner enhancements to meet enhanced uplift pressures. The old membrane was removed and new membrane installed over the existing insulation where it was not wet. In the wet areas, the insulation and cover boards were removed and replaced before the installation of the new membrane. Through excellent planning, communication and execution between Barbour Gardens, the City of Hartford Inspectors, and Constitution the project was completed on time and on budget without safety issues.
